System Requirements

KAS IDE "Integrated development environment" An integrated development environment is a type of computer software that assists computer programmers in developing software. IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and a debugger and KAS Simulator are compatible with any PC having this minimum hardware:

These are the minimum system requirements for the KAS IDE:

Element	Description
Operating System	Microsoft® Windows® 10 (32- or 64-bit). For optimal performance, verify the operating system is fully updated with the latest patches.
Processor Type	Intel® Pentium® M or equivalent processor at 1.5GHz or greater.
Memory	1GB RAM (for 32-bit) or 2GB RAM (for 64-bit) or greater (which is recommended for complex applications).
Storage	16GB (for 32-bit) or 20GB (for 64-bit) of free space on hard disk.
Display	WXGA+ (1440 x 900) or higher-resolution monitor with 24-bit color. See Note #1.
Connectivity	1 Ethernet Ethernet is a large, diverse family of frame-based computer networking technologies that operate at many speeds for local area networks (LANs) port, at either 100MB or 1GB. See Note #2.
Web Browser	A modern web browser is required to access the web server and online help. We recommend Microsoft Edge , Google Chrome , Mozilla Firefox .

• 1. Better results are achieved with OpenGL OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a standard specification defining a cross-language, cross-platform API for writing applications that produce 2D and 3D computer graphics. The Softscope uses this API to implement graphical manipulations and 3D cards.
  2. A 100Mb network is required in order to allow the IDE to Runtime In computer science, runtime (or run-time) describes the operation of a computer program, the duration of its execution, from beginning to termination (compare compile time). Within KAS, runtime also refers to the virtual machine that manage the program written in a computer language while it is running communication to work in all conditions.
     The AKD WorkBench AutoTuner and Scope both require 100Mb of bandwidth In computer networking, bandwidth often refers to a data rate measured in bits/s, for example, network throughput. The reason for the connection of data rate with the term bandwidth is that the limit to the data rate of a physical communication link is related to its bandwidth in hertz to function properly.

  The ports may need to be opened to support connecting from an external network.
